Lamb chops are not something you can make very often. They’re very expensive for a very little bit of meat (maybe you’re paying for the bone, so save it! Make stock!). That being said, they are a perfect “special occasion” food. And what better occasion to celebrate than Father’s Day (which is this Sunday)? Well, we’re celebrating this year with our delicious recipe for grilled lamb chops and a giveaway from ModernTribe, so come celebrate with us!
Enjoy these lamb chops and your chance to win a Father’s Day gift basket from ModernTribe, a quirky and innovative Judaica store in Atlanta (and online!). The basket includes: Shalom Coffee, Bamba, Mashuga Nuts, Pickles Socks, and a Shalom Y’all Mug. Now whose dad wouldn’t want that?! Check out their whole Father’s Day collection here.
